Chapter 4 An alternative hunter team

Li Ming raised his telescope and observed for a moment, and quickly found the location of the hunter team under the shadow of the earth-yellow mountain peaks.

This is a hunter team composed of three people.

The most eye-catching one among them is undoubtedly the muscular man standing shirtless in the scorching sun, repeatedly lifting a heavy metal shield with his hands.

From the length of the shield, which was more than half a man tall, Li Ming speculated that it should be a heavy shield used in conjunction with a hunting weapon, a spear or a blunderbuss.

Since the shield was still a jet-gray metallic color, with no signs of fusion of monster materials, he speculated that the quality would not be too high.

Drink~drink~drink.
Every shout the man makes when he exerts his strength is extremely deep.

The beads of sweat on the plump muscles shine like crystals.

The resolute eyes, accompanied by the heavy shield push, flashed with scorching light, as if there were flames beating in the pupils, giving people a feeling of vitality.

The yellow-and-white Ellu cat on the side flapped its paws rhythmically as it swayed and jumped, as if in time for the strong man's push.

"Well, let's call you Hot-blooded Tiege first."

Li Ming shifted his gaze and focused on the second member.

This is a thin young man sitting cross-legged in the deepest shadow.

He was wearing a set of light black leather armor. If you didn't observe carefully enough, you would be easily missed.

From the short-edged knife handles extending from behind the shoulders on both sides, Li Ming judged that this was a hunter using two swords.

The young man stared blankly at the sand in front of him, with a gloomy temperament on his pale face.

The black hunting cat beside him kept looking around, looking very alert.

"Brother Lengmian can also be a hunter with his body type?"

Li Ming couldn't help but feel surprised.

If you want to match the inherent impression of a hunter, the tall figure and strong body of the hot-blooded iron brother are undoubtedly the ideal template.

As for the thin, short and cold-faced boy, he was completely beyond the scope of understanding.

He is wearing a pair of swords. Is there a connection between the choice of hunting weapons in the real world and his body type?
Li Ming suddenly thought of a possibility.

The reason is easy to understand. You can't expect a thin young man who is about the same height as a heavy shield to master the use of a spear to the extreme.

You can't ask a muscular giant to just change his weapon to a pair of swords, and he can have the flexibility to dodge and move under the monster's heavy blows.

While one's own body type limits the use of weapons that are inappropriate, it also provides great advantages to suitable weapons.

What weapon is suitable for me?

Li Ming, who considered himself to be well-proportioned and well-balanced, thought for a moment but could not come up with a result.

Next, eyes focused on the third member.

This is a middle-aged man, with his back leaning against the dim rock wall, his messy dry silver hair pressed behind him, his head tilted toward the sky, his eyes closed and his mouth half open.

Yes, he was sleeping soundly, smelling good.

There is an old fat cat with orange hair next to him, also sleeping soundly.

One person and one cat even sleep in the same position. It seems that they are an old partner who has been working together for many years.

Not far away, a long, broad-edged knife made of rough bone lay horizontally on the sand.

Li Ming didn't see what kind of weapon it was until the bone shield with sharp edges on both sides came into view.

A broad-bladed long knife is paired with a shield with sharp edges on both sides. That's a shield axe!

Although the overall appearance is no different from that in the game, Li Ming is still quite shocked.

The reason is that the previous spears and double swords have similar prototypes in reality.

As a shield ax that can be combined and transformed, it is a dream weapon that is completely beyond common sense. However, due to the high difficulty of getting started, many players have been discouraged.

After observing the status of the three members, Li Ming started to analyze in his mind.

Judging from the hunting targets and member equipment, this hunter team is obviously not among the top ranks.

Putting it in the game, it can only be regarded as being in the pioneering stage.

But in reality, there is no such thing as land reclamation.

Just like the middle-aged uncle, if he retires in a few years, his career as a hunter may be locked in the current stage forever.

At the end of the observation, Li Ming felt that he had gained a lot.

Many vague impressions about hunters have gradually become fuller and clearer.

But there was one thing he couldn't figure out about this hunter team.

Hot-blooded brother, cold-faced brother, decadent middle-aged man.

Three members, three styles of painting.

It's really puzzling that they can come together to form a hunter team.

puff~ puff~
The sound of the cat's paws trampling on the sand came from behind.

"Eller said that if the hunter team continues to move forward, please inform Meow immediately."

Midoduo said, crawling next to Li Ming.

"Okay." "Uh, let me tell you another story, okay?"

Midoduo turned his head and asked in a low voice.

"Okay, I'll tell you an immersive story this time. It's called Sheriff Black Cat."

"Black Cat Sheriff Meow!"

Midoduo's ears stood up, stars flashing in his eyes.

"By the way, this Black Cat Sheriff, why don't you seem unhappy?"

Li Ming saw the excitement in Midoduo's eyes, which was quickly replaced by sadness, so he asked curiously.

"It makes me sad to think of you leaving, nya."

"It's hard to say now, but even if we really leave, there is still a chance to meet again."

"Really meow?"

"Of course, when I make a lot of money in the future, I will hire the entire tribe to make a full-time cat cart for me."

"Well, that doesn't sound very auspicious, meow."

"It doesn't matter, I'm determined."

Li Ming said confidently.

Half an hour later, Brother Xuelutie unfolded the map, observed it carefully, and then woke up the middle-aged decadent man.

Upon seeing this, the cold-faced brother quietly stood up and started walking on his own.

After informing Eller of the situation, the ambulance team cooperated to promote the tracking and follow-up of the four-wheeled flatbed truck.

If the surge in food intake can eventually be stabilized within an acceptable range, it would be a good choice to continue to stay in the Melu Cat Tribe. Unfortunately, this is beyond Li Ming's control.

After the hunter team set out on the road, Li Ming soon discovered another unusual place.

Brother Hot-blooded Tie and Brother Cold-faced both marched carrying only their own hunting weapons.

The decadent middle-aged man at the end of the team was carrying a huge luggage wrapped in a tarpaulin.

Although his gait is still light and his complexion is as usual, there is no sign of exhaustion and falling behind.

But as a hunter team, this distribution of load is obviously not reasonable enough.

"Eller, judging from your experience, is this hunter team a little strange?"

Li Ming asked Elle on the cat car.

"It's a bit weird. Generally, a hunting team has four members. In addition, in order to avoid excessive exhaustion of physical strength when traveling, the supplies carried will not be overly concentrated on one member."

Ayler put down his binoculars and gave the same insights as Li Ming.

"really."

"Find a suitable opportunity to get in touch, meow. As long as I can pick up the hunting contract from the guild and escort you safely to the sandstone cave stronghold, it shouldn't be a problem."

Eller gives advice.

"I'll try my best. Do you think they have a good chance of succeeding in hunting?"

In addition to being able to escort him to the stronghold, Li Ming actually has another idea of ​​using the skill ball hard.

After all, there is currently no evidence that the skill ball will definitely explode only if the monster must be killed by one's own hands.

"It shouldn't be too big. The field investigator in charge of the liaison mission has said that the hunter team accepts emergency contracts, mostly to try to upgrade the hunter star level. The possibility of completing such a challenging contract is very limited."

Eller sighed.

"The Star Earth Sand Dragon seems to be a three-star monster. According to that, this is a team composed of two-star hunters."

Li Ming suddenly realized.

The only contract in Monster Hunting that can be taken beyond the hunter's own star level is the emergency contract, which is also a necessary evaluation condition for star promotion.

According to the strength of the monsters that Li Ming currently feels, it is dangerous enough for a two-star hunter team to hunt two-star monsters.

"Wait a minute, if the hunt fails, doesn't the tribe not get a penny?"

Li Ming asked worriedly.

After a successful rescue, you can take away one-third of the total reward, which looks very tempting indeed.

But if the hunt fails, the team will not get paid at all, let alone pay for the rescue.

"If it fails, the guild will pay a deposit, but the amount is relatively small."

Ayler explained.

"That's it. I didn't expect that the guild's protection mechanism is quite sound in this regard."

Li Ming said with some surprise.

"Perhaps without our help, the guild would also be in trouble, nya."

Eller speculated.
